TKD is an art. JKD is a philosophy. Take the art and apply the philosophy if you want to.

Try and see which martial art is more in tune with your personality (look at a good number of martial arts, not just a couple). Then, go with the one that best suits you.

TKD works for me but you might want something else. tkd is 80% kicking so if you want that. it isn't going to help you too much in a real fight b/c kicking them in the head might not be an option. it is very fun for me but that might be due to the instructor and the people that i take class with. good luck with everything.

If you're new then I'd say TKD. JKD is more of a philosophy/concept/method of fighting, not an actual style. Therefore in order to effectively use JKD you need to know a MA style to apply JKD's teachings to it. JKD is like spices to enhance the flavor, it won't do much to the chicken if you haven't learned how to cook a chicken yet.

"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. Put water into a tea pot, it becomes the tea pot. Now water can flow, or it can crash. Be water my friend."

Don't know... Visit the schools first. Almost 70% of all TKD Schools are Sport. If you want self defense, then that doesn't help too much.

 

JKD Is something good when you have been in the martial arts for a while.
